My debate this morning is whether or not to redo WOD 1. I only got 74 the first time and I know i can do better (at least 90 reps) but after 4 hard WOD days in a row by body feels like I’m 90 years old.
I’m not going to be in the top regardless, so doing it again is purely for ego…what to do?!?
Edit- I’ve decided no. I don’t have the mental piece to put myself...

Wheat Free
has been admittedly harder then I thought it would be. Yesterday was especially hard since it was no meat & no wheat. I ate a lot, probably more then usual, but it was all very, very clean & healthy. which is a good thing, I just feel a little stumped on what to eat, especially for a cheat meal.
like right now on Saturday night, I’d love to order a pizza. and actually, everything...

Apps
We have slowly but surely become an apple family.
I just downloaded run keeper for a run this morning and feel like that and pandora is going to be a great combo.
Other apps I use and LOVE:
Harvest- tells you how to choose ripe fruits and veggies and how long they last. I used it last time I shopped to pick out a pineapple and it was so helpful
WOD- it’s a timer for all things Crossfit....
Open
I decided to sign up. I’ve been deliberating about it forever and thought the window had closed. I’m the most out of shape ive been in since I started Crossfit a year and a half ago due to my surgery.
More importantly I’m having more trouble mentally then I’d like to admit. I think that the open will hold me accountable and force me outside of my comfort zone- and...

Garage Wod
our garage is pretty well set up; rings, pull up bar, oly bars & weight, boxes, kettle bells the whole 9. I keep thinking that I can skip the gym because no problem, I can always do a WOD in the garage. but it is so hard to motivate! even once i am out there working out, its hard to keep up the intensity by myself. My son overslept so I missed the gym. today should be a day off, but I...

New PR...21 consecutive pull ups!!!
Ive been crossfitting for about a year and a half now. About 6 months after I started there was a comp that an amazing girl I train with, Darby, got 21 consecutive pullups. it was so inspiring, and at the time, unbelievable. I immediately made it my goal to do the same; 21 pull-ups. She is a little woman with an insane body and is tough as nails. But, it was encouragement that if someone I...

Crack Slaw
I was googling low-carb ground beef recipes since we just bought a 1/4 grass finished cow and have a freezer full of venison from the hunting season. I found lots of recipes that sounded great and some that I figured we’re worth a try even though they sounded weird.
This recipe is a combo of a bunch that I found because apparently this is a very versatile dish- it can go Thai style,...
Bar Complex + burpees
This WOD was way harder then it sounded.
12 min AMRAP
4 deadlift
4 sumo deadlift high pull
4 squat cleans
4 front squat
4 push press
4 back squat
4 burpees
I got 4 full rounds + 1 burpee (so almost 5) with 65#. Going into it I was ready for 75# but my trainer confirmed that was a little crazy so I came down. Thank goodness too- I did deadlifts for skill, finishing at 165# 5x so my legs...

Amazing website for sourcing local farm raised... →
Now that I’ve had a taste of amazing eggs it was really hard to buy from the grocery today (even whole foods) I knew we ate tons of eggs, but we went through 4 dozen in 2.5 weeks. That’s Alot of eggs. Completely worth going out of my way to get good ones.
I was able to find a few farmers very close with great eggs for less then the store
Check it out- it’s nation wide and you...

Crossfit Fail...well, personal fail really.
I didn’t finish my 30k. I was 3,800m short.
I’ve had a long and slow recovery from surgery and the recovery plan was that it would get much worse before it could start to improve.
Today I woke up with a pain scale of about 4, which is great. I’ve actually been having trouble standing up straight before today even with heavy painkillers.
tomorrow I’m back, officially....
